Black Light Smoke’s US-based imprint Death Decay Magic invites The Hacker, Cardopusher, Man 2.0 and Adrian Marth to remix tracks from the first three releases on the imprint.

After seven years of brand building as a podcast mix series, Death Decay Magic was launched as a record label in March 2020 by Jordan Lieb aka Black Light Smoke. With a DIY ethos, Death Decay Magic explores the darker, eclectic realms of electronic music, bridging techno with EBM, minimal synth and post-punk.

Death Decay Magic Remixes Vol. 1 is a compilation remix EP, drawing on the first three Death Decay Magic releases; Black Light Smoke ‘Line and Shadows’, Daniel Holt ‘Traveler’, and Man 2.0 & Black Light Smoke ‘Holy Hammer’. Death Decay Magic invites remixes from The Hacker, Cardopusher, Adrian Marth, Man 2.0, and Black Light Smoke on a release that illustrates the labels blueprint perfectly: raw, edgy synth music with ghostly vocals; one foot in techno, the other stepping out into the unknown.

Zone Music boss The Hacker gets things underway with a crunchy remix of Black Light Smoke ‘Lines’ featuring crystalline leads, zapping synths and whirring stabs. Up next, Man 2.0 and Black Light Smoke’s ‘Bodywork’ gets a remix from Classicworks founder Cardopusher as he takes the remix into mystifying territories with revolving modulations bouncing elegantly off the chugging rhythm. Night Noise artist Man 2.0 follows by laying down an industrial-tinged electro remix of ‘Traveler’ with otherworldly atmospheres, gauzy textures and dynamic elements.
Italo Moderni label boss Adrian Marth follows with an interpretation of ‘Bank For God’ as the spiralling EBM sonics flow vigorously and the drilling rhythms get to work underneath. DDM honcho Black Light Smoke then finishes things off with a version of his track, ‘Your Own Hands,’ which fuses rubbery bass grooves, playful melodies and vibrant 909s.

The next mix in the Hybrid Moment x Egor Strelkov series is crafted by Béllis — a DJ from Zaporizhzhia and founder of the Hybrid Moment collective and label.

"In this mix, I continue to explore new facets of my musical taste, delving deeper into old-school sounds. I increasingly notice that the era of electronic music I love is coming to an end — everything is shifting toward simpler forms and rhythms, familiar melodies, and playing with pop culture. I really want to preserve something complex and offer listeners something different — deeper, sometimes strange, but always original."

For 2018’s next expedition, veteran cosmonaut Benedikt Frey takes control of space command after making 2017 one of his several galactic conquests, putting his proverbial black, red & yellow flag in a stunning vinyl release on Bahnsteig 23, an equally stunning album on ESP, a plethora of killer remixes and continuing his record label ‘Love Pain Sunshine & Rain’. Need we say more?

His broad electronic taste is vast, and his sound can be a drift across the universe, a jump to hyperspace, industrial binary clunking or an extraterrestrial attack on the senses. Todays sample is the latter. Packed with ample 303, nothing could be better suited to help you laugh in the face of ‘dry January’, show it the Vs and prime you for the weekend.

Dark Entries is celebrating our 10 year anniversary with ‘Preservation Bias’, a compilation of lost songs and rarities from Linea Aspera. The group formed in London in November 2011 by Ryan Ambridge (Synths/Programming) and Alison Lewis (Vocals/Synths). Within the duo, Alison writes and performs all vocal elements, while Ryan is responsible for producing, recording and mixing the electronics. We released their debut self titled album in June 2012 that was followed by a posthumous vinyl reissue of their tour cassette “II” on Weyrd Son Records in 2013. For all recordings Ryan utilizes an analog synthesizer set up: Roland SH-09, Roland Juno 6, Vermona DRM MKiii, Korg Poly 800 and Analogue Solutions Semblance. Linea Aspera's sound includes clear influences from 1980s electronic body music, synth-pop, industrial and noise. Lyrically the band incorporates the sciences of osteology, neuroscience, and anthropology weaving a new medical language around themes of desire, despair and renewal. Linea Aspera is the muscle attachment on the back of the femur and translates to 'rough line' in Latin. ‘Preservation Bias’ features all three songs from the limited ‘II’ tour cassette EP, four songs from the 2012 self-titled limited cassette EP and one song from the Desire Records 2013 compilation ‘And You Will Find Them In The Basement’. All songs have been mastered by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Each LP is housed in jacket designed by Niall Greaves and includes a double-sided insert with lyrics.

Umwelt - Beyond Celestial Limits [Artaphine Premiere]

POLISH TECHNO.LOGY debuts with the first official album!

The premiere release of the Polish label is 'Dark Reverb' EP by MDS, which is also part of this collective. This is the debut EP of the Polish artist, which is a consequence of his dynamic development and willingness to cross new borders.

'Dark Reverb' EP contains 4 tracks that bring a dark atmosphere interwoven with ambient sounds, strong bass and favorite elements used by MDS, giving the tracks the right pace.

Label: POLISH TECHNO.LOGY
Artist: MDS
Title: 'Dark Reverb EP'
Cat. No.: PT001
Format: Digital
Genre: Electronic
Style: Techno
Release Date: 27/01/2020
Artwork: Matylda Stefanowska (Thildaa)

"Dark Reverb" is a slower track but with stronger bass beats and drums with a large dose of reverb and echo. MDS also presents effects that definitely diversify the sound. The sound of the guitars together with the weight of the song drive the listener towards the dark.

The shamanic journey "Attack" offers goes from ambient sounds to factory noises, scream and hard kick.

Rhythmic beats and bass resonance make your heart beat faster. "Intramural Voice" is a mixture of soaring whistles and reverbs with a synthesizer melody broken by drum beats constitute the basis of this track. In the background, heavy but barely audible bass is the background of the track.

MDS presents "Transposition" based on your favorite elements. Industrial bass kick is intertwined with a fast classic percussion cymbal in high timbre. Colored with atmospheric reverberation and an undefined noise, the track is a mixture of fast pace in a dark and heavy style. Impacts imitating the sounds of tin containers at the end of the piece complete the space.
